beautiful including all the child or grew up on the square had lost their uncle and said to their mother you know when you've lost something you look for it and find it again. we want to measure how can it be that these people disappear and are never found. the police catalin a saturday mother's and a narrow street. hey mr palace president we are in pain. we are looking for our dead children. we're strong your police and give us the square for. the saturday mothers have been holding that we can protest since the mid 1990 s. an era when countless kurds and left wing activists disappeared while in police custody. it found her fellow protesters are used to repeated police finance.

to terrorist organizations many were arrested among them for a qur'an because younger brother. he's had 2 apparent courtney morris times in connection with his work as a journalist. so what you are mothers have a very painful demand. they want to find the bones of their children and as it is ultimately the state's responsibility that the state can find them if it wants to. the most painful part is that the government does not even want us to express those demands. booklet without delay get it when sister. suddenly for uk seems nervous this is a character off the camera. downtown istanbul is full of police. turn it off. 2 months earlier had lost his job as managing editor of the john hoody a newspaper being deemed too critical of the government. today he and his family

the men sastre were detained but only hire a team failed to return. a few weeks later. it is meeting up with her brother farrakhan the former teacher is now 62 and retired police officer 9 has just graduated from college. on her way to the meeting it has to drive through a tunnel a place with traumatic memories. all this is where they pick tyree up the hashim is coming under pass. watch after the children fire a team was due to meet somebody head. italy's arrested him. that was on november the 21st 980 ira team was 26 years old at the time 23.

circumstances their parents unskilled workers. ever think of the man. it's been 10 years since a poll was last here. this is where we spend our youth in the best and the worst chapters in our lives. the family fled the district shortly before the coup only for hire a teen to disappear just a few months later they looked everywhere for him and came into contact with other prisoners who reported having seen her teen being tortured to death one in custody . i mean they all do not really orders but at least when they're longer completely in the dark. we now know up to a certain point what happened to our brother. what we do not know is where he was buried. treasure. the tragic part is that there's an anonymous cemetery on just the

other side of that hill perhaps he was buried there as were a number of people who disappeared back then if that was the case then he's back home in his own neighborhood. early sister mollison. someone. for up was 16 when his brother disappeared he spent years writing a book about her teen now he wants to finally complete her. back in may are you attorney goes out on your lady and human rights association i.h.t. provide legal support for the saturday mother's unity is chairing today's meeting which acknowledges also attending on the agenda is what they can do to challenge the ban on their protests. yeah that tessa period court has dismissed our cases and wote panetta trial that just set. produced in 2004 people stopped disappearing in

the custody of the turkish police since the attempted coup in 2016 however there's been a resurgence of illegal methods. to have been a lot of cases of people being coerced into spying on others dacha to talk to soldiers each day they primarily target young people who are active in their community. by threatening them or promising the money if they work for police intelligence it can see a church member just by. those who refuse run the risk of being tortured or killed and they are. all being arrested for no reason. us some of it. is that in your letter he is holding a press conference to help draw public attention to a current case involving a member of the procurators people's democratic party or h.d. pain for months the man in question has faced harassment and threats from

individuals claiming to work for the intelligence agencies they want him to spy on his own party. he plays a recording of a phone call. the voices belong to the supposed agents trying to arrange a meeting with him. the press conference is attended by just a handful of journalists from minor media outlets critical of the government over the last 2 years goes on and you ladies association has documented over 200 similar cases across the country goes out in the cape up until the late 1990 s. people being disappeared while in place custody was a major problem because we're now seeing a new increase in cases like this one an indication of state authorities feeling that they can get away with resorting to extra judicial methods again and that's deeply worrying that it was a. it's an issue that techies mainstream media no longer data cover movements like

the saturday mother's face growing pressure. january 19th 2908 bonus on the way to an event commemorating a murdered journalist 12 years ago to the day turkish armenian who on think was shot dead in broad daylight here in the sri district of a stumble upon those his family wow. here i received a visit like us their family in mourning and those families need support. i didn't live my life should i do it we share more difficult days and that helps to alleviate the paying huge i'm going there to be with them. iraq has also come along he knew from think personally. things matter remains unsolved the trial of dozens of police officers and intelligence agents charged

with complicity in the killing continues to drag on has made it into a larger. wider region unfortunately the history of turkey is full of murders and massacres where the culprits were never identified or brought to justice. the pain brings people together. there are a lot of saturday mothers here today and relatives of individuals whose murders have never been solved. but there are also a lot of regular people who are opposed to these murders. thousands have gathered to remember run think. anti-government protest marches are generally banned but commemorative events such as this one are still open as it. the speeches into the chaos to the government to take action. on. it all to us in the time since rod's death turkey has become even more dangerous for

journalists not just for journalists that there are currently $140.00 journalists in jail but also many academics writers politicians and attorneys anyone who challenges the methods used by the government faces a threat of being arrested perhaps it imitated you all to the south. of it. after is an area on the western outskirts in istanbul and a palace here to visit her mother one of the co-founders of the saturday mothers movement for years she took part in the weekly sessions and got us that i square right now at the age of $85.00 she's too frail to attend. her husband died a few years ago she now lives with her oldest daughter to mia. you know. when. they learned to not use them on the ground my

thoughts are always with them on saturdays. i tuned into whatever t.v. channel they're on to follow events we've now passed on the baton to him and she's always doing things on the other hand i'm always afraid something might happen to her like being arrested. for harness full of mementos of her son a picture he painted. the camp from his circumcision party his watch. all the care if only they had given me my son back in sound health or at least show me his grave that would have given me some closure but instead i've been left wondering for years whether they murdered or perhaps dismembered him. the authorities have never confirmed that hire a teen was arrested by the police but his family believes they know the names of the offices alleged to have tortured him to death. and ms inches

along the life only it's a punishment for a brother and us. and i out them all i've spent 38 years looking for him. that's 2 thirds of my life. isn't that unbelievable. we're living with the trauma one that has also been passed on to our children. nobody has ever been charged in connection with the death of her brother. now in early march for everyone's book about the disappearance of his brother has just been published. he's here with us sister's family to see the finished product for the 1st time. for expend 25 years writing the book. but the house the book show where is it over there the book's title is the story of

the last revolution. how are you. fine thanks. the book sure a lot i've already had a quick browns. also note that i wanted to write the book back when i was daughter set and i was born. you know i wanted to let her know what kind of person her uncle was but i got delayed. by then had

a daughter of my own and i also wanted her to find out about her uncle or just more and sick. to kill it's very hard writing something like that. need he 1st had the idea many years ago but kept putting it off behind a lie if found excuses and shelved his plans but it should us that he would write it one day all quote i've received. is the i can understand him. along with me and my big sister supported him so that the story would be preserved for our children and the whole country's children cognitive and what is now pretty is to something quite wonderful rigged up to. the book tells the story of heritance formative years his political activism on the day of his disappearance. i did the time my.

daughter said and i never met her uncle her a teen but he plays a vital role and her life today. pushing a lot that's like a compass with every decision i have to make he shows me the way even with everyday issues. mark he's become a part of me. says i immediately buys her own copy of the book so that she can read all about the story that has left such a lasting impact on her family. tranche. now it's not just my book. we will never forget the stories of course it will perhaps this book can help the healing process. we always go through a soldier. burks book proves to be a big summit meeting to reprints in the space of just

a few weeks. but he has little time to celebrate now at the end of march he has none. he's being charged in connection with the 2016 solidarity campaign for the sins and protesters daily as. he waits with a bomb in a cafe outside the court building while the hearing takes place. must ultimately there's a good newspaper what's under huge pressure back that the authorities tried to draw in the management of legal proceedings hundreds of them it shows. a receipt in their defense a group of us writers intellectual some artists took part in a solidarity campaign. for one day we were the editors that it was only a symbolic gesture but not for the government similarly we should they immediately launched legal proceedings against us that even though it's a symbolic moment they have understood all and now they're demanding we be handed tough sentences ups's all of these. did i believe it because if he goes to jail

of course the visit him to be just what else can i do believe me or you did not could i'm here today because i'd rather see him as a free man one more time. much judging a side of course the happy isn't connected. to like on. earth chose not to attend the hearing and i put in lane the judge's ruling it's a tense wait. then for a quick. cvs a message from his attorney. there that after the trial will resume next week. until now the trial has always been postponed by several hours. but this time the deferral is a matter of days which means we can expect a verdict is. there a local elections this week a lot so the verdict will be announced after that of. the church because i think

the outcome of the local elections will influence the verdict. i can only hope things turn out well. and known as so often in their lives they face a waiting game. president add ons justice and development party the ones to retain its majority at the local elections the day before the elections because taking part in a rally of the 2nd day mother. today 7 months after the government issued its ban the police are again obstructing families protesting against the disappearance of their children stossel sisters and brothers. that more like is running out of patience that. thank. you so called it is to goose the will the being penned in here in the street only makes people angry or. we've already been incredibly angry for the last 38 years.

that being treated like this intensifies that anger. would give is if you are the real. it's election night. for a recently began working for tele one a small t.v. broadcast a critical of the government he's in charge of the stations local election coverage many of his colleagues have also been prosecuted the 1st exit polls start to come in the village is seen as a barometer of everyone's popularity and last year's constitutional changes that gave him sweeping new powers to start a study hall is extremely important including the central district stroker this is where the a.k.p. was born the wallet for the chances are high of the opposition winning there. it's exciting. the 1st forecasts put the a k p a head but its lead decreases as the

evening progresses and the excitement a tally one mounts as the becomes clear that the k.p. has lost the capital ankara. the opposition is gaining an estimable 2 it's a neck and neck race between the 2 leading candidates 348.8 to 48.6 we want to stumble. the state news agency on a dollar says the a cookie candidate been alleviated there is point 2 percent ahead but they're not publishing the real results we want. the mood at the t.v. station becomes increasingly upbeat now sees hope for the future shock when if you only get out of you with out of all this is a huge blow to the current government especially given the pressure surrounding these elections the city. this is huge the opposition got hardly any media exposure only from stations like ours but despite that pressure and almost all t.v. stations and newspapers towing the government line we now have this outcome which i

hope will see positive developments emerging from this and that we can make a return to democracy and that the pressure subsides bostic those are our hopes all right only if. the state news agency stops updating its results for a stumble the final outcome is not revealed until the next morning the opposition won istanbul with the way phonetic of the ruling a.k.p. party is already planning to contest the results. 3 days later the judges are expected to announce their verdict interrupts trial he's joined by a representative of reporters without borders just gives over the election results has dampened for us hopes of a more relaxed backdrop for the trial. like these largely depend on the political climate and now the climate is even more charged. the government is not accepting the results of the election and that makes things even tougher.

so what will you say in your place the statement that we were always defending freedom of the press and freedom of expression and will continue to do so. the final hearing is scheduled for 9 fast it makes it just in time. for us family and friends want to show their support on this vital day he could potentially face a 7 and a half year jail sentence. to be mindful of. the hearing begins cameras are not permitted inside the courtroom even in the corridor filming is limited to smartphones. to. later the trial is over has been handed a suspended 15 month sentence it's a warning put one more foot wrong and he could end up in jail. if he

didn't you know live. among those given for rock moral support is high profile investigative journalist truck. you've still failed to get rid of me. maybe at the next trial. for its mother happens to give him a call she had known about the trial would mark i'm outside of the court i had a hearing to attend. you know i've had so many court cases but nothing happened. really and it is. and then my mother called because of the local elections i also told her about the trials but not that i was found guilty they were the children of the. totally she won't find her in the news

yet i'll bet it will. if these are the sick kids you want is the time for 38 years we've been victims of injustice. we've been through hell we've lost somebody brother. always seen a reason we've spent our lives fighting for justice and today was just the latest example of the new plan to keep your job but we won't give up. we still demand that the state explain its actions. will never give up not until they give us the bones of our brother be jotted down montague's we just. but another setback was to come.
